Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 W116 (1976) Black Limited Edition

This is the early S-Class. The best Mercedes-Benz available back in 1976!

[@miamimo70]

The 6.9 was the very rare variant of the 450SEL, the biggest engine they did

[@manoman0]

The AMG of those days, so to speak.

[@patrickmccarron5059]

KK makes a decent 1977 280E that I recently purchased in blue. Doors, Hood, and Trunk do not open, but it looks very real in display case.

[@raymondchan9802]

The Mercedes 450SEL 6.9 is the top of the line W116 model. Like your video very much.

[@rusty3831]

Nice review, however, I would never use a metal screwdriver as a pointer or to open anything.

[@GAGABENGA]

Marek Jankulowski, your videos are pure perfection. Good job!

[@ElijahLukeMusic]

I like Norev . My only problems with them is lack of infinite detailing such as PAUDI, FAW MODELS. Car is beautiful I want one.

[@AGVancouver]

I found one like that from eBay, from a polish seller as well. Maybe the same seller you got it from. Now I have both black and green one. I love your reviews by the way.

Geweldig mooi om te zien.

[@johnmaynard6954]

Awesome collection. I enjoy your videos. Very nicely done.

Thanks for reviewing ths absolutely brilliant. Sending my full support here ❤ watching now my new friend 😘❤

Excellent review- thank you!

[@stevemarroquin9766]

Lol I jumped from my seat when you hit the ornament hahaha

[@fannymandelbaum7715]

the middle mounted gas tank prevented from catch fire in crashes and the hoses sealed them when crushed, you can hang any mercedes car from the door's catch near the lock of door

[@gabrielebaumgartner8897]

This is a very nice model

[@tyler2610]

Thanks for reviewing this model. I have never had a Norev model and my collection is all vintage American luxury cars so a Mercedes would not exactly fit (kind of like if the car was not black for you). I have always liked the big Mercedes sedans though, especially from 1986-1999. IMO the 1992-1999 version Norev has out looks a little odd, but I do like the looks of the 1991 560 SEL they have in the dark blue shade recently released. I just might have to buy one now LOL.

[@geriko1]

I just got this one about three weeks ago. I think this guy is the only one selling the black one on eBay. It's really nice in black though and I think it is better than the Revell offering years ago. I colored the wipers for the headlights with a chrome paint pin and now it looks better.

[@GK-Modelcar-Universe]

the same here too :D:D got it also from this ebay guy :)

Sei un grande bellissime macchine continua così🔝🔝👍👍

[@josevidal6458]

Very nice model I have the same model but gold color.

[@bibihubsi]

And because of this is the 6.9, it also comes with a rubber front spoiler. Something no other W116 got from factory

[@borivojetravica569]

Not true... I have that on my 116... 280se 1976'

[@clemenscity]

[@rskb1957]

Very heavy!Just like the real thing. The nicest car I ever owned and drove a; W126 SEC

[@GK-Modelcar-Universe]

Also got the black one :) And I got it from Poland too ;)

[@fannymandelbaum7715]

the rear vertical gas tank, located behind the rear seats for safety reasons ate some trunk space

[@69ChevyGarage]

You should continue with the background music. It's soothing and beautiful.

[@PAARYNAKAKKU-ic3td]

I LIKED IT

[@enigma01011]

lool why so low notes not many models have FOUR opening doors, trunk and hood and carpet in the trunk etc. I think Norev did an awesome job here putting many more expensive brands to shame at that price point. And dull interiour, well, that was how it was in the day nothing to help about that is there lol. Your comment of the light alloy wheels is very funny for everyone who know Mercedes as they where the standard light alloy wheels and much appreciated by Mercedes Benz buyers. And no, of course you cant see a brake disc through it that was not the intention of that design. (sigh). As of the car itself, many famous persons drove one as it was superb: " The M100 in the 450 SEL 6.9 is the modified and enlarged version of the engine developed for the W100 presented in 1963. The mechanically controlled Bosch 8-piston injection pump was replaced by the simpler K-Jetronic, the wet-sump lubrication was exchanged for dry-sump lubrication and the compression ratio was reduced. By increasing the bore, the cylinder capacity increased from 6,332 cm³ to 6,834 cm³. This gives the car Mercedes' largest post-war passenger car engine. The renewed M100 in combination with the hydropneumatic suspension made the 450 SEL 6.9 a worthy successor to the 300 SEL 6.3, the air-suspended predecessor W109 in which the original engine was also released at the end of 1967. In the Mercedes philosophy, the advantages of a strong engine lay in the ability to adapt effortlessly and safely to any traffic situation without sacrificing comfort (low engine noise and gearshifts). Mercedes was not interested in reaching extreme values ​​with the cars and the official top speed of 225 km / h was therefore modestly given. [4] The 450 SEL 6.9 was more modern, faster and cheaper than the Rolls-Royces that were the pinnacle of luxury in the 1970s. The new price was 1/3 lower than that of the cheapest Rolls-Royce, the Silver Shadow. The '6.9' lacked some equipment because the Silver Shadow had a radio, electrically adjustable front seats, leather interior and from 1977 (series II) air conditioning with thermostatic control. Apart from electrically adjustable front seats, these features could be ordered as well as a right-hand door mirror, alloy wheels, electric sunroof, heated front and rear seats, car phone and ABS (from December 1978). Well-known individuals who owned a 450 SEL 6.9 included Franz Beckenbauer, Costa Cordalis, James Hunt, Sophia Loren, Telly Savalas and Frank Sinatra. "

Sometimes one comment brings more value than the whole video!

[@anticosmo7571]

Great video, how long is the car please?

[@alexander1485]

Also you should show and examine the under carriages, not a proper review without (he showed it while unboxing but was not intentional)

[@fannymandelbaum7715]

the 6.9 featured ABS brakes that werent common then and very expensive but it were a very expensive large sedan

[@davidegalbiati4563]

Yeah it's a 6.8L V8 , merc names have always been confusing :)

[@climbaclubba]

Altough there are some little mistakes, way better than Revell made 450sel, those are listed at CMC price on ebay!

[@joelpalmer]

6.9 is a separate model. It has the 6.9 m100 engine from the 600 series. same body as 450 SEL

[@fergalgallagher6987]

Very nice model am looking for a Vauxhall cavalier mark two which I have too buy for Luton or mark three if they have Vauxhall insignia I would buy that too how many model do u have by the way

[@viant6758]

[@miamimo70]

Called a VIN plate, chassis details etc

[@bartekpelc9614]

beatiful car, i think that black was made especially for poland, it's everywhere here in polish auction sites, i have citrus green mb dealer version with dark green interior, and it's better quality than yours.

[@mafus6116]

Jak jsi říkal to s těmi čísly, platí u bmw, mercedes to má jinak, podle mě je 450 prostě název modelu(u starších mercedesů) ale myslím že asi před dvěma lety Mercedes značení měnil, a už se v tom nikdo nevyzná😁

I just bought this model in 2023 January and the star emblem on top of the grill has come separately, do you know if this attaches or it needs to be glued in? Thank you.

[@ExternalStar]

If you dont move the model, you dont need to use glue. It is also better if you later resell

[@platinumlook]

@@ExternalStar Thank you for your response, just so that I understand you. Does the star emblem/logo attach into a hole on top of the grill because when I got the model it wasn’t attached, thank you again.
